Sacred Spaces | Another Whirlwind Adventure
https://gyozafox.wordpress.com/2010/10/24/sacred-spaces
Tales of moving to Hiroshima, and what happened after. October 24, 2010. I can’t believe it’s already nearing the end of October! BBQ, like we did at his place on the 17th. The flowers in the foreground are cosmos bipinnatus. The crimson lanterns of food stalls and game tents. And the shining roofs of mikoshi. Being carried around town. Fuchu, the little town just outside Hiroshima City’s limits which is famous as the wealthy home of Mazda. It’s easy to spot matsuri in the offing here – every...8220;, an...

https://gyozafox.wordpress.com/2009/11/28/269
Tales of moving to Hiroshima, and what happened after. The Autumn Waters of Mitaki-dera. November 28, 2009.

Still working on this one for the year, incidentally… too busy, and lacking the proper equipment). That impre...

https://gyozafox.wordpress.com/2011/01/03/first-sunrise-2011
Tales of moving to Hiroshima, and what happened after. January 3, 2011. When 2009 rolled over into 2010 last New Year’s, I was slumped across a couch at my friends’ house, eating osechi. Delicacies and watching TV specials in front of a brightly roaring little fireplace. I had a great time that night and I think I got a good sense of how most Japanese families spend their Oshogatsu. A show chronicling the trials and triumphs of preschoolers’ first solo errands. Inn anywhere near the sacred island at this...

https://gyozafox.wordpress.com/2011/03/04/yamaguchi-shi
Tales of moving to Hiroshima, and what happened after. Bathing With The White Fox: Yamaguchi City and Yuda Onsen. March 4, 2011. Me, snapping photos in Yamaguchi's circa 1880 City Hall. I also find myself refusing, in the bottom of my neurotic, indecisive little heart, to believe that this is the end of my whirlwind love affair with this place: I want to believe I’ll come back yet again, and next time find a way to make it stick. Fifth round will be the charm, right? Joueiji and Sesshu’s Garden. Perhaps ...

Novel writing activities long enough to head out on a “ momijigari. 8221; 紅葉狩り expedition when I heard Miyajima’s leaves were turning, and here are the results! This association is largely due to the fame of nearby World Heritage Site Itsukushima. 8216;s fall colors, but up until this season I had never seen the island’s trees in their full autumn glory. Horror stories are told by locals about the crowds that pack Momijidani Park.
